Common mistakes
![Page 36: Succession planning June 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/54441cc1b1af9f640a8b47ac/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Common mistakes 1 of 3• Only allowing planners to
select successors from the chain of command under a position
• Heralding super-flat organizations as a nirvana of efficiency
Page 36
![Page 37: Succession planning June 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/54441cc1b1af9f640a8b47ac/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Common mistakes 2 of 3• Allowing performance
review scores to be weighted as high as 80% of criteria for placement as successor
• Only doing succession planning for the top three layers of an organization
• Producing future workforce strategies without reviewing the data of historic workforce trends and external market conditions
Page 37
![Page 38: Succession planning June 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052617/54441cc1b1af9f640a8b47ac/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Common mistakes 3 of 3• Avoiding line managers
and business unit leaders when it comes to making employee policies, because they “don’t understand HR”
• Accepting that hard-to-use software is better because it’s more complex and will do more for you…or that cheaper software is merely simpler and will give you a faster, yet lesser return

Seven sins of succession planning
• I’ll be here forever• What mattered then…• Assume the plan is the
plan• Assume you need the
whole plan figured out• Believing everyone wants
to rise through the ranks• Developing only your high
potential people• Thinking you need a formal
positionPage 40
